InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Uptown Girl ❯ Chapter 32 ( Chapter 33 )

As Koga was able to break the lip lock that Ayame had him in, he heard a stifled gasp coming from behind him. His eyes grew wide in shock as he slowly turned toward, not the blue eyes of his beloved, but her vivid green ones of anger, pain and betrayal. “Ja… Jade… let me explain,” he stuttered out as he reached out toward her, pulling away from Ayame.

 

With unshed tears rimming her eyes, Jade replied, “Explain… what is there to explain, Koga? That you found this piece of trash better than me? Let me guess, you shagged her right after leaving me without a chance to explain myself?” Her heart broke into a thousand pieces as he stood there, mouth working like a fish out of water, waiting for the explanation.

 

Ayame moved from behind Koga, pushing herself toward Jade as she said, “I was Koga's before you even entered the picture, bitch.” She looked Jade up and down, taking note of the lithe build of the girl in the little black dress. With a sneer on her face, she ground out, “What he ever saw in you is beyond me. You look a little to thin for his tastes.” A smile slid across her face as she saw the look of anger settle on Jade's face, failing to notice the crowd take a step back… or three… as Jade worked her good hand into and out of a fist.

 

Looking as if to walk away from the couple, Jade turned around as it to leave, moving toward the man behind her, who just happened to be Inuyasha, as she thought about what she should do. Jade halted a split second before spinning on her left foot back toward the red headed wolf bitch, landing her right fist straight into Ayame's jaw with a crack so audible that it hurt Koga's sensitive ears behind her. Jade looked at the crumpled body of the woman on the ground at Koga's feet as she spit out, “I hope that you enjoyed that kiss, bitch. Leave what is mine alone or you'll not get up the next time.”

 

As she turned back toward the crowd, to leave the bar, Koga grabbed her arm, pulling her toward him as he whispered, for her ears only, “Did you mean it… What you said to Ayame?”

 

Jade glared at Koga; however her eyes betrayed her by changing from the vivid green to azure as she replied, “And I'm still mad at you for what you did to my place. I didn't even get a chance to explain what had happened. If you had given me a chance, you wouldn't be here, with her.” She shook his hand off her arm as she moved toward the door, Koga following a little behind her, trying to get her attention.

 

Seeing that getting her attention was hopeless, Koga followed Jade out into the parking lot, hoping to talk to her before she left for home. He didn't feel like chasing her after what she did to Ayame, but Koga felt that they needed to get things out into the open, and, hopefully get back together. She was after all the only one that he'd ever wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

 

Jade moved toward Kagome's beat up little Cavalier, wishing that they had driven her own vehicle so that she could leave when she wanted to. But then it dawned on her, “I only have my bike, and I'm not up to trying to shift just yet. As well as being in a rather short dress, I don't want to give the guys anymore of a show that what they already got.” Once she reached the car, Jade sat on the hood, seeing not one, but two males coming toward her. As a sigh escaped her lips, as she realized that the fur was about to fly as the wolf and dog demons approached her.

 

“Jade, would you please let me explain?” Koga asked as he moved within talking distance to his beloved.

 

With a turn of her head, looking toward the cracks in the windshield of Kagome's car, she replied, “What is there to say, Koga? You left my house in a wreck, me on the floor, bleeding and crying my heart out for something that I didn't even do, all because of him.” Koga turned toward the male approaching from behind him as he took in what Jade had said.

 

Inuyasha approached the couple rather tentatively as he caught onto what Jade had said. Deciding to stay out of the way, at least for now, he leaned against Miroku's Explorer, arms crossed in front of his chest as he watched the events unfold before him. Once he settled in, he realized… a little too late… that he was going to be drawn into the middle of the fight that was about to ensue.

 

“She meant nothing to me, Jade,” Koga tried to explain as he moved closer toward the irate wolf demoness. With a flash of fangs and claws, Jade whirled off the hood of Kagome's car moving away from Koga as fast as she could as well as keeping him at bay.

 

Turning to face him, she retorted, her eyes having changed back to vivid green, “How can I believe you when I saw the lip lock with the bitch with my own eyes?”

 

Taking a step closer, as she took one back, he replied, “The same way that I could believe that you were cheating on me with him when I smelled it with my own nose.” Without warning, Koga rushed her, as she backed into a large 4X4 pickup, pinning her lithe frame between the truck and his rock hard chest.

 

Placing her hands up, in a defensive move, claws out as he pressed his chest into hers, Jade snarled through clenched teeth, “Get off me, jerk… or you'll be hurting in a few seconds.”

 

Moving his lips closer to hers, with a hairs width between them he whispered, “I doubt that… I can see in your eyes that it's a lie…” He gently claimed her lips, tasting them for the first time since the fight. Though he was being gentle, Koga poured as much passion into them as he could muster… love and regret as well for not believing her. As he broke the kiss, looking into her eyes… all he saw was not as he had hoped. Instead of the love and tenderness that he knew she possessed, the emerald brilliance was filled with flames… flames of anger… something that he'd never seen before.

 

Jade locked eyes with Koga as she ground out between clenched teeth, “You think that a kiss… a simple kiss will clear away all that has happened? How could you… how could you be so naïve? After what happened… the destruction of not only my property… but the wounds to my body… my heart… you expect me to just forgive you with a mere kiss? I didn't sleep with Inuyasha you jackass!!! Your nose should have been able to tell you that. There was no sex between us, or else he would have been dead!!! What kind of fool do you take me for?” As her tirade escalated, her voice increased to nearly a roar, which even had Inuyasha's ear flattened at the distance he was away from the couple.

 

With his ears ringing, Koga looked at the woman in between his arms, the anger rolling off her in waves similar to a catastrophic tsunami. “I… I was wrong… Jade. I should have asked you about the scent… instead of flying off the handle. But having his scent in your home… your bed… on your neck… is what fueled my anger. I should have taken it out on him instead of you…”

 

Koga dropped to his knees in front of Jade, his eyes never leaving her face as he took her hands in his. A single tear made its way down his face as he continued, “I've come to realize that I'm probably not worth it, but I want you back. Would you… could you find it… in your heart to forgive this old wolf?”

 

Jade closed her eyes a minute, thinking about what he said, leaving the wolf on his knees, begging for her to reply… either way. Slowly she opened her eyes, locking them onto Inuyasha as he looked at the couple, kind of laughing at the situation the great wolf demon was in, but realizing that this was not his business, not yet any ways. As she looked at Inuyasha, Jade realized how much hell the mutt had put her through… especially with Koga. Not wanting to let him off the hook so easily, she replied, “Let me think about it, Koga. I have a lot to consider… but I will take it under consideration.”

 

Quickly, almost as if by magic, Jade slipped out from in front of the demon on his knees and ended up near Inuyasha. As her face came closer to the hanyou, she commented, “I hope that you enjoyed the show, jerk. I've asked that you stay away from me… what is it with you? Do you have a death wish?”

 

As she pushed her body into him, Jade was all too aware of the twin blue orbs glaring daggers into her back. Huskily she whispered into his ear, “This is what he accused me of… well then let me enjoy it.” She laced her hands into his hair, still mindful of her left one in the brace, as she pulled Inuyasha forcefully into her lips.

 

The searing hot lips crushed his as he tried to deepen the kiss, nibbling on her lower lip, asking permission to enter her mouth. As she unclenched her jaw, after a moments hesitation at the reminder of the last time he'd done this, Inuyasha delved into her mouth. His tongue gingerly explored her entrance, running his tongue over her fangs, fighting for dominance with her tongue. While he wrapped his arms around her lithe frame, pulling her possessively into his aching body, Inuyasha opened an amber eye, locking his gaze with Koga as he saw the blood tinged eyes lock onto Jade's back.

 

In a flash, unable to take the scene before him much longer, Koga tore Jade from Inuyasha's claws, leaving four deep gashes in her upper arms, as he growled between clenched teeth, “If I've told you once… I've told you a thousand times… Stay away from my WOMAN, mutt!!!” Jade shook in his death like grip, scared for being between the two rampant males, especially as angry as Koga was with the heat that she felt emanating from the hard chest behind her.

 

With a smirk on his face, Inuyasha replied, “She was just saying `good-bye' you mangy wolf. Now look at what you've done…” Inuyasha pulled Jade's arm up for Koga to look at. Dropping his blood laced eyes to the wounds on her arms, bile raised in the back of Koga's throat as he realized that he'd hurt her…yet again… after he'd promised never to hurt her again.

 

Slowly, almost with regret, Koga loosened his grip on her arms, allowing Jade to turn toward him. He saw the pain in her eyes, as well as fear. “I'm… sorry, Jade… I didn't… mean to hurt…you. I love you,” he replied, trying to wrap her into a loving embrace, only to have Inuyasha beat him to it.

 

Seeing his opportunity, Inuyasha snaked his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his chest as he snarled, “What do you know about love? All you've done since you've been home is caused her pain!” Suddenly, without a thought as to his actions, Inuyasha grasped the top of her dress, pulling it down far enough to expose most of her breasts, luckily her nipples remained hidden, or else Koga would have had a full head light shot.

 

With his left hand, Inuyasha pointed at the newly healed scar, about the same color of pink as the one on her shoulder from the attack. “Do you see this? Take a real good look, ass hole, for this was caused by you. She could have died that night… after your little tantrum… when you left her on the floor… bleeding. But you wouldn't have noticed… or even cared because of your deep seated hatred of me… You can thank Sesshomaru for taking care of her… or else she wouldn't be here to put up with your shit,” Inuyasha practically screamed, seething at the thought of the filth before him and his actions that have caused this woman so much pain.

 

Blanching visibly to a ghastly gray, Koga laid his eyes on the jagged mark upon her perfectly tanned breast. Tears came to his eyes as he shifted his gaze to her eyes, seeing the hurt that was there as she had been exposed so harshly to the one that she loved by the man with whom he hated beyond all else. Suddenly Jade moved on pure instinct, shoving both elbows into Inuyasha's stomach, causing him to drop his arm from her shoulder as well as her dress. In the blink of an eye she had rushed away from the males, her tears on the slight breeze as she moved out of sight. Their eyes followed her to a waiting Harley, as she swung aboard. With a single claw, in the matter of a few seconds, she had picked the lock and started the V-twin engine. As the bike roared to life, Jade eased the bike from its parking spot and spit gravel at the two as she screamed into the night, oblivious that she had just stolen a bike, or that she was showing quite a bit of leg as she straddled the bike.
